Experienced Family Law And Divorce Services
Using my background in business and my experience as a divorce lawyer in San Luis Obispo, I provide professional and cost-effective legal support in the following areas:
- Divorce and family law: My caring and personalized support is designed to guide your family through complicated divorce proceedings, pre-martial decisions or emotionally difficult child custody and support disputes.
- Child custody and visitation: Having a general understanding of the terminology and laws related to custody and visitation can assist you in negotiating a parenting plan that facilitates your role as an equal parent and that is in the best interest of your children.
- Child and spousal support: Child support and spousal support negotiations are a critically important piece of a divorce or dissolution of a domestic partnership agreement. Child and spousal support lay the groundwork for future financial stability. I work with clients on original support orders and on modification of existing support orders.
- Property division: California is a community property state. This means that, absent on agreement otherwise, all marital assets and debts will be equally divided during a divorce. Drawing on my business background, i will assist you in investigating the source of the spouses’ assets and debts to determine which assets truly belong to the marital estate and which are the separate property of my client or the other spouse.
- Retirement Division/QDROs: The division of retirement benefits, such as pensions and deferned compensation accounts, needs to be completed at the time of your divorce, not when you retire. I can assist you or your attorney with the special orders for these divisions.
- Alternative dispute resolution: I can assist you in resolving your differences amicably and cost-effectively by utilizing alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR is an alternative to the traditional legal process and can include mediation, arbitration, collaborative law or simply a cooperative approach to resolving your differences.
- Consulting: I will no longer be litigating (going to court) or even coming on record to represent clients. Instead, I will be consulting off record to assist clients with paperwork, negotiations and when they are in mediation with another mediator.
- Mediation: Work with me as a neutral to reach agreements amicably and have more control over the outcome. Approach issues from a problem-solving perspective that takes both parties’ needs and objectives into consideration, while minimizing costs, stress and damage to the ongoing co-parenting relationship.
